new car smell

Is there any way to give our cars that new car small once again? That is half of owning a new car.

no. best way to keep it smelling nice is to not smoke or eat in it.

You can buy a spray that gives you the "new car" smell...

plastic, adhesive, carpet, paint, and chemical smell FTW!

Ive heard there is a study about "new car smell" trying to prove its actually bad for you, hah. Makes sense though, thats what all that smell is.

waste of money. it doesn't smell like a new car and doesn't last more than a few minutes.

Never drive the car, and keep all the windows and doors shut!

If you could bottle new car smell and sell it you'd be rich. Unfortunately synthetic version of it just aren't the same. I use "leather" smelly good spray on my interior and it smells better than new car smell IMO.

It could also be that your new car smell is still there but since you're used to it, you can't smell it anymore.
